Simple acts

I was browsing around the internet and stumbled upon this photo. 

I wanted to share this photo for a couple of reasons. 

1. This guy is AWESOME! 

2. Simple acts can go a LONG way. 

The first thought that came to mind when I saw this picture..was how awesome this man is for taking time out of his day to stand outside with a sign..waving to complete strangers..Just to say hello! 

Without even knowing...a simple gesture like the above..can mean the world to someone. We don't know what other individuals are going through. We have no idea what hardships the individual at the grocery store is going through. 

My thoughts on this are simple..

We can ALL learn from this man. We should ALL make an attempt to tell a stranger hi...or smile at everyone we walk past. We should ALL take the extra time out of our days to help make someone's day better. That simple smile you give..or a hello that is said..or even an act of kindness given to someone.. It can make a larger impact on someone than we could even begin to imagine or comprehend. 

Anymore...society is technology dependent. We spend more time on our phones texting, or on our computers..than we do having an actual conversation with someone face to face. That is a sad fact that we need to change. 

So...my challenge for you:

Make it a point to smile or say hello to at least one stranger...every day. 

Make a point to open a door for someone...help someone put groceries into their car...etc. 

Not only will YOUR day be brighter..but you will impact others in a positive way.
